There are a lot of problems with current police forces, in Europe as well.
And this is what ACAB is meant to address. It’s not saying we shouldn’t have rule of law, and it’s not saying the law shouldn’t be enforced. It’s saying the current mechanism has serious issues that need to be addressed as a whole.
But there are folks in this comments, specifically the person I originally replied to, talking about how any form of law enforcement and a state is by definition evil, and falling very short of calling OP who disagrees a bootlicker.
Well, if there are faults and bad actors in police organisations that are allowed to persist, it goes down the road of bad apples spoiling the rest of them.
This is a situation where apathy is acceptance. And by and large police units protect their own to the detriment of the reputation of the so called profession. Which is more than apathy, its consigning it. Anything less than excision of the rot is allowing it to spread.

That’s who I’m addressing.
